I love the Zone

by sam524

Ok so I finally had to guts to join the meal plan that everyone is raving about and words can't even explain how happy I am with the meals and customer service. I received my first delivery on Wednesday and I couldnt believe how nice the meals was packaged so of course that impressed me from the get go. I put the meals in the fridge and began the diet on Thursday morning as instructed by Lori from customer service. (who might I add is very nice and informative)I ate the cinnamon french toast for breakfast and I was sooo shocked how good the meal was. Basically, what I am trying to say is the food is delicious and the presentation of the meals is much better in person then the pictures on the website. The only thing is the shipping cost is alot but it's all worth it especially that I am picking my own meals. Oh, did I forget to mention you can pick your own menu!

• Pros: pick your own menu, great customer service
• Cons: shipping cost

5 days frees

by camp_hillary923

I ordered the optimum results program through the special promotion on citysearch to get 5 days free. The catch is that you have to pay $40 to have those free meals shipped. I suppose it is still a good deal, since it is $150 worth of meals. Im starting my second week and the food is better than I expected. I dont have a scale at home; I threw that out a long time ago. But I feel good so far.

• Pros: 5 free days
• Cons: shipping costs

Great diet Meals

by shanna_gens

I enjoy this service a lot and I continue to lose weight from sticking to this program. My husband turns his nose on my diet food. I wont tell him how delicious the food is, so he wont be tempted to eat my meals! Although it is hard to watch him munch on potato chips and ice cream, the fact that Im noticing a big difference in my weight helps to keep me on track.

I like that I can customize my menu. The muffins, soy chips and cheesecakes are so good that I cant believe Im supposed to eat it to lose weight! I have more energy now to run after my kids. I highly recommend the Zone Diet.

• Pros: cheesecake!
• Cons: takes up fridge space

not all programs are customizable

by mandycandy

My only complaint about the zone diet service is that not all programs are customizable. I'm on the frozone, and if I could, I'd have the rosemary chicken and stuff shells for dinner every night. I don't like curry, so I don't like the curry chicken with basmati rice meal. It would be great if all programs offer us a chance to customize. The portions are smaller than I am used to, but then again, the purpose is to lose weight. Overall, I'm happy with the service, meals and its effective in helping me lose weight.

• Pros: lose weight
• Cons: frozone program is not customizable

best customer service

by joy4343

I've been on a few meal delivery programs mostly for the convenience. Zone Diet At Home stands out for me because of their great customer service. I always ask for Lori whenever I have a question about changing my meals. Very friendly and goes above and beyond to help!

• Pros: customer service

no guilt

by snow_withe

I joined for two reasons: I wanted to maintain my weight and didn't want to THINK about food. My busy work schedule keeps me from going to the gym as often as I should. The Zone Diet helps a lot because I would otherwise be eating unhealthy take-out foods while sitting on my butt all day behind the desk. Just knowing that the food is good for me takes some of the guilt away from not going to the gym. Would recommend to those who want to lose weight as well.

• Pros: no guilt for eating

icing on my wedding day

by coutorediva

I signed on for the zone diet because I wanted to lose 10 pounds in time for my wedding. After being on the program for 28 days, I lost 12 pounds. Perhaps it was because I was so determined to lose the weight or maybe this diet really does give me more energy but I did it! I kept up with my hour long workouts 6 days a week. Eating the great meals while watching my body look better and better helped keep me going. My only worry was losing too much weight and having my wedding dress be too big on me!

• Pros: variety, convenient
• Cons: price

the food is good - AND losing weight on it is the bonus

by cupcake_43

I was wary of a previous review that said these meals have no flavor. But all said they lost weight so I decided to give this program a try. I signed up for the Optimum Results program and I found myself enjoying the food. Most of the meals tasted great. I was really worried that I wouldnt feel satisfied, but that was never the case. Im starting my 4th week on the program and I lost about 7 pounds so far. Im going to renew for another 4 weeks and hopefully reach my goal of losing 15 pounds.

P.S. The Turkey Bolognese is awesome.

• Pros: variety, tasty
• Cons: good value, but still expensive

No Flavor

by whitewrangler

I've been on the Zone Lifestyle (the fresh food, not frozen) program on Zone Diet at Home for a week and I have to say most of the food is flavorless and bland. They really need to use some spices to add some flavor and none of the meals are what I would call really delicious. Sometimes it's all I can do to eat it. The muffins are good though, especially the chocolate chip ones. The good news is that I've lost 5.5 lbs. I paid for two weeks, so will finish it up, but am going to try another program afterwards because this is not food that I can continue eating.

• Pros: food arrived fast
• Cons: bland, flavorless, Expensive
